Science On a
Sphere
You won't need a spacecraft to
have an astronauts-eye-view of the
planets and moons in our solar
system at our Science On a Sphere
Theatre.
Science On a Sphere creates
stunning visual effects from real
scientific data, and displays them
on a six-foot-diameter globe
suspended from the ceiling.
The animated sphere seems to float
in space - just as an
astronaut would see the Earth!
3D video projectors show the
audience clear, striking
images of our Earth, storms
on Jupiter, our moon Luna and MUCH
more to help visitors of all ages
better understand our world and
our solar system.

appear on the sphere right before
your eyes! Located at the
entrance of the Science on a Sphere
Theatre.
